You will most probably need to install: gcc, ncurses-devel and gettext.
I don't know the package names in Red Hat, but you probably have some
tool to search for them easily. If not, feel free to mail back to the
list, I'll query the exact package names / commands to get it installed.

Also, nano should be packaged in rpm format already. You probably want
to install the package instead of compiling it yourself, it'll be a lot
easier.

Thank you Jordi.  My problem is I'm taking a class...and this instructor wants us to compile from source
instead of just installing the rpm.  Seems a bit of overkill for a fairly beginner class, but there you have
it, he wants it, he's the boss.

I used "locate" and found gettext in usr/lib
I found a lot of gcc entries in /usr/bin and /usr/lib
Can't find anything called ncurses-devel

Is it possible that I don't have PATH set up correctly?  I haven't mucked with it. It's the RH9 default

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

I tried ./configure --with-included-gettext
Still got told "no acceptable c compiler in $PATH"
Is there a difference between "gcc296" and "gcc"?

	might look like a overkill, but what you will learn from that
	will help in the future...

	to start, you will learn not to fear the command line nor
	those strange tar.bz2 files 8)

	good luck

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a 
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are 
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in every country.

Nah, that's correct.

You need to install the "gcc", "ncurses-devel" and "gettext" packages,
and whatever those depend on.

I think "up2date gettext", "up2date gcc" etc. should install them.

Yes, the former is the old version, you should be using gcc.

Nano wasn't installed.

Either you didn't install ncurses-devel, or nano isn't finding it. Are
you sure you installed that package?

First off, Thanks for a GREAT product! We have used nano for a number of
our classes, and its worked great!

We are in the process of changing the cobol class here, and in doing so
they are going to start using a new editor (here comes nano!), I was
hoping somebody out there has nanorc file that has colorizing options for
cobol. I did a quick search and came up empty handed, but I am hoping I
get lucky, as I don't teach the class (just the system admin guy) and
making one with know the terminology could be "tricky".  Thanks for any
help!

Also I am not on the list serve, if you could please reply directly!
